I have been using Linux for some time now and the only place where I encounter problems is the office suit. Like Libre office basically meets all my needs, but when I share the docs to other people, somehow Ms office fucks it up. I don’t know how to fix it.
Onlyoffice by default perpetuates the problem of using microsoft ooxml standards instead of opendocument ones. We have to set opendocument as the de facto standard.
I would also consider using WPS Office. Unfortunately WPS Office is not Open Source. I had issues with OnlyOffice being unstable. I am still not sure how to self host OnlyOffice cloud either.
Lots of large scale government projects in various countries are also ditching Windows for a more secure end-user experience. We’re also in 2024 where most applications that people use are available in browser.
Right… when people realized that a Chromebook can meet most people’s needs because 98%+ of what they do can be done through a browser, then Linux becomes a more viable option.
BUT… while most people don’t use their computers for gaming, the ones who do would be more likely to want to try Linux with Proton. The recent surges will get even more people familiar with how good Linux is, and they will be able to evangelize to the less adventurous.
